An interesting question. In my expereince the term "artist-in-
residence" is most often used to define the role of an individual who
is PRIMARILY doing studio work ... as opposed to teaching, grant-
writing, administrating, etc., within an institution or organization of
some sort. Certainly there is some elasticity in how this definition
is applied ... but one's role is either artist or other ... a binary sort
of thing.
